Our Team

Hiya I'm Kate I look after the recycling arm of the One Project.

I started to up my recycling game when my first little boy Quinn was born. Due to being in hospital a lot and Quinn having baby pouch food (due to the ease while being at my hospital appointments during my pregnancy with my 2nd son Lotan) I found out about Terracycle.

I started off recycling baby pouches and crisp packets. Now we recycle over 50 different hard to recycle items supporting not only our community group but many other charities and groups too.

As I am not originally from around Macclesfield and was also a new mum it was a great way for me to meet people and engage in some adult conversation while also helping tackle the big issue we have with single use plastic. I started group recycle sorting mornings in my garden and surprisingly lots of people turned up and continued to do so.

Recycling is not the answer but for the time being until manufacturers change the packaging of products we will continue to recycle.
